Daisy Rock Rock Candy Custom Special

Friday, January 12th, 2007

Daisy Rock has absolutely dominated this Top Guitars For Girls list, and for good reason – they’re currently the number one guitar manufacturer dedicated specifically to building guitars for girls, and also to changing the popular opinion that electric guitars are somehow just for the boys.

One of their guitars that’s been getting lots of attention is the Rock Candy Custom Special, an instrument with both feminine styling, and hard rockin’ hardware. Among other things it sports a uniquely contoured top, a string-through-body bridge (which should help increase sustain,) and a pair of Duncan-designed Detonator humbucker pickups.

Features Include: a mahogany body with contoured top, mahogany neck, rosewood fretboard with star inlays, a TonePros tune-o-matic bridge, black binding, black hardware, grover tuning machines, Detonator Humbuckers, master volume & Tone-Tap controls, 3-way pickup switching, and of course that matte black finish & pretty pink star.

Squier Hello Kitty Stratocaster

Friday, January 12th, 2007

For those on a tighter budget – and with a healthy love of all things Sanrio – is Squier’s cutesy but kickin’ Hello Kitty Stratocaster. A little over-the-top you might ask? Perhaps, but this bubble-gum pink beauty still packs some nice features for a sub $200 guitar.

Of course, if you’re not a Hello Kitty fan you’re probably running away screaming, because this thing is pure “Kitty” through and through: custom Hello Kitty pickguard, scripty Hello Kitty logo on the back of the pink model (the black model apparently sports a Hello Kitty collage logo on the back,) and even pink or black fingerboard dot inlays.

Features Include: an agathis body, maple “C”-shaped neck, maple fretboard with 21 medium-jumbo frets, a single humbucking pickup at the bridge, single volume control, die-cast tuners, 6-saddle strings-through-body bridge, and that super cool vintage-’60s style oversized headstock.
